The Vacancy
Step into the spotlight and become the person our customers rely on when no one else is online.
At IRIS, we help schools around the world run smoothly with our award-winning iSAMS software. Now we’re looking for someone confident, capable, and calm under pressure to own the evening shift and support our customers across North America.
You’ll be the go-to expert from 4pm to midnight, Monday to Friday—solving problems, logging tickets, keeping things moving, and making a real impact behind the scenes.
This isn’t just another service desk job. It’s your chance to shine, take the lead, and become the trusted name customers turn to when the rest of the UK team clocks off.
If you’ve got support experience—and maybe even some leadership know-how—you could be exactly who we’re looking for.
What Will You Be Doing?
- Taking ownership of customer queries via our helpdesk, phone, and email
- Troubleshooting software issues and escalating when needed
- Logging updates, keeping everything tidy, and categorising tickets correctly
- Spotting patterns and raising flags when bugs or trends appear
- Keeping documentation fresh and sharing insights with the team
- Supporting new starters and helping customers get the best from iSAMS.
Who Are We Looking For?
- Experience in a service desk or customer support environment
- Confidence using ticketing and incident logging systems
- Clear, calm communication—even when things get busy
- A cool head, problem-solving mindset, and love of ticking things off your list
- Independence—you’ll be working solo for some of your shift, and we’ll trust you to own it
- Bonus points if you’ve worked with SaaS tools, supported education software, or helped onboard others.
Why Apply?
Make it your own – you’ll be the lead support contact during your shift
Grow quickly – gain exposure to a wide range of queries and customers
Stand out – your work will be highly visible across the team
Shape the future – bring ideas, improvements, and energy to how we support globally
Be supported – full training, handovers, and ongoing development included
